Impressive Sights

I didn’t have a plan for what I was going to write tonight so to play for time I went over to Under the Stars to see what my friend, Sherry blogged today. I didn’t even read it. She had a meme going on, so I decided to take it from her and see what I came up with.
The Five Most Impressive Sights of My Life
1) The Grand Tetons driving into Jackson Hole, Wyoming from the east. They took my breath away.
2) A thunderstorm forming in the distance while driving through New Mexico.
3) A pod of whales off the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
taken by my friend Ed Warner; I was too busy being impressed to get any decent shots of them! The best part was the sound. The captain of the boat cut the engine and we would hear SPLOOSH! as they came up out of the water followed by a WOOSH! as the air came from their blow holes. Everything was perfectly silent except for these soft, remarkable sounds.
4) View of the water and the rain forests in Tobago (see above)
5) Sparkling snow shadows in my yard when there’s fresh snow fall and a full moon!
Bonus Answers:
- Any woman giving birth
- Driving past London landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Westminster Abby while coming home from the theater in a cab
- Niagara Falls (an AMAZING amount of water goes over those falls!)
- Fall leaves in New England in any *good* year
Thanks for the mental trip down Impressive Memory Lane, Sherry.
NOW I’ll go read your answers. 
Here’s Helen’s blog where Sherry got the meme
